What was that you said, controller? I didn’t hear you. Speak more plainly.

Not exactly sure why that idiot in the blue shirt ran in front of the guy with the gun.

Heywood beat me to it but I was going to put it more kindly and say, when your pal has engaged and shot a man let him stay on point. A million things are going through his mind, his adrenaline is pumping like he’s never felt. Don’t break the plain of the muzzle and preferably stay back of him because if he needs you to engage as well at some point be ready.
Noted are; the presumed owner/renter did not break the plain the door, nicely done young man. He instructed his buddy to get back inside, also very good. Excellent presence of mind. Also two center mass shots are fine, even excellent. He made sure to hit the target, especially in what looks like an apartment building. I’ll say it again; the first shot landed wins the gunfight regardless of caliber or shot placement! Stopping power is a stupid faux tough guy argument (large animals aside), which is code for killing a man. Nobody wants to kill somebody, the object of self-defense is to get the attacker to disengage. The young man did that just fine, even very well.
Also, the skateboard, basketball hoop, weight bench in the living room; age is young, this makes me very very happy indeed that he’s not just another old white guy with failing knees. The future may be brighter than we know.
Downside; can’t tell if he has a handgun while peeping the door but he should have already been armed before going to check the door!
Just some random thoughts, YMMV.

I almost forgot, speaking of Ruger, I was at the Rural King last week. Ruger AR’s were 529.00 but the time before they were 499.00. The guy at the gun counter was very knowledgeable but not with airs of superiority, he was friendly in that country sort of way that I appreciate. Anyway, they have stacks of ’em and xfers within the Rural King network are no FFL charge. An ad played over the store wide audio explaining that a certain handgun was on sale and that guns will remain an important part of America and RK intends to always to sell them, and to check for all the latest firearms specials at rkguns dot com.
Anyway, I thought y’all and Walmart and Colt might want to know that. And besides, they have cute little live chicks which are always worth looking at for the wimenz and chillins, and yeah I confess to always checking on them myself.
Oh, and the ammo was cheap.

That put a smile on my face. Thanks, Fred.

Fred, he didn’t shoot. If you go to the You Tube video in the Description he says he didn’t shoot.

I’m not certain what is clicking but you’re right, it would have been a lot louder, and flashyer bangyer. Huh. Good point. What ‘s clicking twice?
Well, he would have been justified.

Sounds a lot like an air soft rifle being shot.

Yep, that was my thought after I actually listened well. Is something fishy about this?
And, NEVER pull an airsoft gun on somebody. That’s a good way to die that day.

Great testimony by Amy Swearer of the Heritage Foundation before the House Judiciary Committee in a hearing titled “Protecting America from Assault Weapons.” [4:56]
I noticed the clickin also; could’ve been Dindu’s banging doors to get out.
The gunowner is the vid’s poster & says in his comments there was no trigger pull.

It’s actually sounds like an audio bug if you listen carefully. When the door kicks open, the double clicking noise happens then happens again in a slightly different tone shortly after he yells for his friend to get back inside. It actually happens several times throughout the video and happens a lot when the camera not is picking up feedback and echos. The initial click when the door is opened could be a double playback of him hitting the bolt release. Give it a close listen and let me know if you agree.

Saw no muzzle flash, very minimal noise….looks like this could have been an airsoft rifle. Good way to die if the bad guys are determined.

@Dan,
There was never a shot fired. He showed good restraint. Read the video description. It wasn’t an airsoft rifle.

Note that the entire video is 40 seconds. Stuff happens fast.
